PASOS is guided by a highly experienced and diverse Board of Directors that provides strong oversight, strategic policy direction, and ensures the highest standards of accountability, transparency, and credibility. Our seven-member board brings together professionals from varied backgrounds, representing gender diversity, regional balance, and special interest group inclusion.

This diversity ensures that our decisions reflect the needs and voices of the communities we serve while maintaining a broad, inclusive perspective. To strengthen effectiveness, the Board works through specialized committees including Finance, Management, and General Purpose tasked with providing expert guidance on key operational areas. These committees play a critical role in financial stewardship, organizational governance, and program oversight.

The board meets at least four times a year to:

• Shape and approve PASOS’s strategic direction
• Safeguard organizational assets
• Approve annual plans and budgets
• Allocate funds between programs and administrative functions

Monitor progress and ensure accountability to all stakeholders
